CHRIS HEMSWORTH ROMANCES THE PAUSE WITH HIS SURFBOARD FOR COMPANY

For Chris Hemsworth, a ‘pause’ is synonymous with the ocean. When the ‘Thor’ star wants some time off from the frantic pace of Hollywood, he heads out to sea with his surfboard and conquers the waves. In fact, the 32-year-old hunk loves the rush of being out at sea so much, he says he doesn’t hesitate to jump in the water and go surfing, despite the risk of shark attacks. “My love and obsession for surfing some days outweighs that kind of fear,” Chris laughs, while women across the globe fear for his safety!

Growing up by a beach in Australia, Chris finds the sand and surf soothing — offering him a rare moment of peace and a much-needed pause between filming and playing dad to his three tots. “My beach where we lived (in Australia), directly out the front, someone got bit six to eight months ago,” Chris confesses, while adding that it hasn’t deterred him from running into the surf with his board when the opportunity presents itself.

Given that his ‘pause’ passion allows us to snap up images of Hemsworth in a wet suit, we’re happy to let him flirt with danger to some degree. Besides, in a battle with Chris, it may well be that a shark ends up worse for wear!
